Yes, it’s such a descriptive way of defining the overwhelm. Simplicity Parenting, by Kim John Payne is where this beautiful nugget emerges. As a Simplicity Parenting Group Leader I help parents understand ways of relieving overwhelm for themselves and their families so they can come back to center and allow their children the time, space, and freedom to breathe and experience those golden moments of childhood.

Soul Fever, that rang a bell in me. I am very glad for your posting. Have to send it to a friend whose kids are overwhelmed in the Japanes learning system and she seems to deal with it by accepting it. Thats a way, for sure, but its not the soul way.
I’ll be back here again!

Thanks Jen! I’m glad this post was informative for you. Soul fevers can be small and others are bigger – like the one with my daughter. I think becoming aware of a soul fever is a great first step for all of us as parents to notice when our kids are handling too much and need our help to slow down. Thank you so much for your comment.

I’m so glad to hear your daughter did so well with the transition and is so happy attending a waldorf school now! Sadly, there are way too many kids out there with *soul fever*, as you so aptly termed it. Thank you for this informative post
